Petfringe
Petfringe's Comedian of the Year 2019 has launched. A cash prize of £10,001 is waiting to be won by one lucky stand-up comedian. This is Britain’s largest comedy prize in cash terms (by a penny), so is definitely not to be laughed at.
The Petfringe Comedian of the Year final has taken place, compered by organiser Andy Stedman.
The winner receives £10,001 - the highest stand-up comedy prize in the UK.
And the winner is Simon Lomas. Britain's Got Talent finalist Nick Page was runner-up and Alistair Williams was third.
The finalists have been announced for the Petfringe Comedian of the Year. This is the new competition with a prize of £10,001 - a pound more than the Edinburgh Comedy Award, so claiming to be the most lucrative prize in British comedy. Though Lost Voice Guy did recently bank £250,000 for winning the multi-genre Britain's Got Talent.
This competition is for acts who are "actually really funny", says the website. not high concept, chin-stroking performances that tend to win the prizes.
The line-ups for the two London heats of the Petfringe stand-up competition have been announced.
